We have regular Wednesday Night Sailing that provides for sailing a course around marker buoys that will challenge both new and experienced sailors. While traditionally this has been ‘race night’, the focus in the last few years has been for it to be ‘cruise night’ to enable the widest participation and just to have fun and “re-socialize” after the past two years of pandemic restrictions. We meet at the ‘Rec Deck’ after sailing to socialize and enjoy a BBQ.
We also plan to organize cruises to other ports, including Port Albino and Port Dover, subject to interest. These cruises would provide an opportunity to enjoy the safety and camaraderie of like-minded sailors, both on the water and in the destination port.
Port Colborne will continue to be part of the Lake Erie Inter Club Regatta itinerary this year. The Regatta has been a Lake Erie tradition for many years and starts in Erie, Pa., then travels to Port Dover, Port Colborne, and ends at Point Abino. The regatta will be held from June 28th to July 2nd, 2025. Details can be found at: https://www.erieinterclub.com/
Nearly all private yacht clubs around the lakes require visitors to be members of a reciprocal club. This allows our members to enjoy the hospitality of the member clubs on a reciprocal basis.
Sugarloaf Sailing Club is a non-profit incorporated entity dedicated to:
- Developing and fostering the sport of sailing
- Promoting and encouraging the development of good seamanship, navigational knowledge and sailing skills
- Arranging sailing competitions and cruising regattas, some with prizes, awards and distinctions being given after the event or at our Annual General Meeting and Christmas party.
- Organizing and sponsoring social events for the pleasure and accommodation of members and guests
- Participating in reciprocal agreements with other sailing clubs that provide visitor access and benefits
